Notes
To ensure your Crescent Roll Cinnamon Twists turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
– Work Quickly: The crescent roll dough can be a bit tricky to work with, so try to work quickly to avoid it becoming too soft and difficult to handle.
– Adjust Cinnamon Sugar: Tweak the cinnamon-sugar ratio to suit your personal taste preferences. Some like a little more cinnamon, while others prefer a sweeter twist.
– Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the twists as they bake, as oven temperatures can vary. You’re looking for that gorgeous golden-brown color.
